Frontman Jacob Bannon commented on the possibility of the Verge-In collaboration:
All of Cave In perform on the album. All of Genghis Tron also perform on the album. Both along WITH us. Many of the other contributors have been announced as well. So yes, this album is essentially the collaborative idea that we had previously, taken to greater extremes.
